Kathryn Sullivan, assistant to winning trainer Mark Casse of Dynamic Sky (No. 3): "[The Canadian International] was a really tough race, obviously. He got a great trip today, and everything seemed to come together for him. He didn't have the best start in the [Canadian] International, which put him behind in the race, but today everything went exactly as planned. Cornelio took him off the pace a little bit and had him sitting perfectly. When that hole opened, he just went right on through and had a ton of horse. It was perfect; you couldn't ask for a better trip."

Cornelio Velasquez, winning rider aboard Dynamic Sky (No. 3): "I had a good trip; I saved ground all the way, and I had a lot of horse at the quarter-pole. I asked, and he gave me everything."
